Yes.

I've now solved the problem. See thread
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2110141 for more information.

There is all sorts of stuff in the gconf for compiz, most of which I
don;t understand. A cool option is tto invert the cube so the viewer is
on the inside instead of the outside. Cool!

Could really do with the gnome-compiz-manager being in the official
repos though.

Regards,
Tony.
